Hack

“A rollicking, sharp-witted crime novel.” –Kirkus Reviews "HACK is a witty and incisive mystery set in the raucous world of tabloid journalism. Laugh out loud funny and suspenseful--it's like Jack Reacher meets Jack Black." -- Rebecca Cantrell, New York Times bestselling author of THE BLOOD GOSPEL It’s a dog-eat-dog world at the infamous tabloid New York Mail, where brand new pet columnist F.X. Shepherd finds himself on the trail of a killer with a wicked sense of humor, who is hacking celebrities to death. When a famous TV foodie’s husband is slain, the only witness is Skippy, a bright Husky who adopts Shepherd, and the reluctant reporter inadvertently becomes a tabloid star. Bodies and suspects accumulate as Shepherd runs afoul of cutthroat office politics and Ginny Mac, a sexy reporter for a competing newspaper – who will do anything for a story. In an attempt to stop the carnage, Shepherd teams up with Izzy Negron, a Homicide Squad detective with a bizarre interview style. When Shepherd is contacted by the Hacker, he realizes he may be next on the list. Hack is a fast-paced page-turner, fueled by non-stop action and hilarious plot twists. “Crowley, a seasoned true-crime author, creates an endlessly witty, cheerful and capable protagonist. Humor pervades even in violent scenes, setting the book apart from similar crime novels. On top of its wit, Crowley’s book delivers high and frequent thrills.” -Kirkus Review
